Kevin Feige Wants To Add Miles Morales’ Spider-Man To MCU After ‘Spider-Verse’ Films End: “We Definitely Have Plans”
Kevin Feige has announced that Marvel Studios is actively planning to introduce Miles Morales into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a live-action character. The studio will likely pursue this adaptation after Sony completes its animated Spider-Verse film series with the final installment scheduled for June 2027. Feige indicated that this represents a natural evolution for the franchise and confirmed that producer Amy Pascal is already working on development concepts for the character's integration into the MCU.
Miles Morales has gained significant popularity through the animated Spider-Verse trilogy, where actor Shameik Moore provides the voice. The character received a subtle hint at inclusion in the broader MCU through a reference in 'Spider-Man: No Way Home,' with dialogue suggesting a Black Spider-Man character existed in the multiverse. With a live-action Miles Morales project already confirmed to be in development since 2023, studios appear to be coordinating their plans to introduce the character after the animated series concludes and Tom Holland's Peter Parker films continue.
In short
- Kevin Feige confirms Marvel Studios has plans for a live-action Miles Morales character in the MCU
- The adaptation would occur after Sony's animated Spider-Verse series concludes in June 2027 with 'Beyond the Spider-Verse'
- Producers Amy Pascal and Feige are developing multiple future Spider-Man films incorporating the character
Steelman: both sides, in good faith
The strongest fair case each way — we don't pick a winner.
The case for
Miles Morales has become enormously popular through the animated Spider-Verse films, and integrating him into the MCU offers compelling creative opportunities within a richly interconnected universe where he could meaningfully interact with Tom Holland's Peter Parker and other established heroes. The multiverse narrative already introduced in No Way Home provides natural story justification, and the scale and resources of Marvel Studios would allow the character to reach even broader audiences and develop in ways a separate franchise cannot match.
The case against
Miles Morales already thrives as the lead character of Sony's visually distinct and critically acclaimed Spider-Verse films, which have their own creative identity and narrative momentum. Folding him into the MCU risks subordinating his character to larger franchise demands and potentially overshadowing him within an already crowded roster of heroes, whereas he remains stronger and more distinctive as the central figure of his own interconnected universe rather than a supporting character in Marvel's sprawling ensemble.
Explained simply
Miles Morales is a Spider-Man character who became popular through animated films known as the Spider-Verse trilogy, where he is voiced by actor Shameik Moore. These films explore different versions of Spider-Man across alternate universes and have built a large audience.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe (the MCU) is a series of interconnected live-action films and television shows produced by Marvel Studios. Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, has announced plans to introduce Miles Morales as a live-action character in the MCU, likely after Sony finishes its Spider-Verse animated film series in 2027.
The MCU already features live-action Spider-Man films with Tom Holland playing Peter Parker, the original Spider-Man. Adding Miles Morales would introduce another major Spider-Man character to the MCU. The plans also reveal how Marvel Studios and Sony are coordinating their Spider-Man projects: Sony makes the animated Spider-Verse films whilst Marvel Studios manages the live-action MCU series.
